Mary As the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary has a unique position among the saints, indeed, among all creatures. She is exalted, yet still one of us "Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth. At the same time, however, because she belongs to the offspring of Adam she is one with all those who are to be saved." Mary embraces God's will and freely chooses to cooperate with God's grace, thereby fulfilling a crucial role in God's plan of salvation. Throughout the centuries, the Church has turned to the Blessed Virgin in order to come closer to Christ. Many forms of piety toward the Mother of God developed that help bring us closer to her Son. In these devotions to Mary, "while the Mother is honored, the Son, through whom all things have their being and in whom it has pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell, is rightly known, loved and glorified and . . . all His commands are observed." The Church honors her as the Mother of God, looks to her as a model of perfect discipleship, and asks for her prayers to God on our behalf. http://usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/devotionals/mary-and-the-saints/index.cfm ASCENSION OF THE LORD / LA ASCENSIÓN DEL SEÑOR Free Tickets in King County The Transit Incentives Program offers you tickets for eight free rides on King County Metro Transit.

PATRICK’S CEMETERY S 204TH & ORILLA RD KENT, WA 98031 Rain or Shine — Bring your own chair Did You Know We Have A Cemetery? St. Patrick Cemetery was created when the O’Connell family in 1880 set aside 4½ acres on their farm south of Seattle to be a cemetery for the mainly Irish Catholic families in the area. They named it for St. Patrick, and in 1902, formally transferred title to the cemetery to the local Catholic Church for the sum of $1. Over the years, the cemetery fell into disrepair due to non-use, a lack of volunteers, and vandalism. Since the 1970s, all records, services and maintenance for St. Patrick have been provided by Gethsemane Cemetery in Federal Way. The farm where St. Patrick Cemetery was started was owned by the O’Connell Family. Richard O’Connell was born in Co. Limerick in 1839 and Sarah (Mullen) was born in Co. Galway in 1870. After his first wife died, Richard married Sarah in 1887 and they had three children, Catherine (b. 1888), Richard (b. 1890), and Monica (b. 1897). Richard died in 1935 and Sarah died in 1952. Today, their grandson, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren still live on the original O’Connell family farm, located just down the hill from St. Patrick. http://www.irishclub.org/History-StPatrickCemetery.pdf ASCENSION OF THE LORD / LA ASCENSIÓN DEL SEÑOR Martyrs, Maryknoll, and a Marker On June 8, 2013 Archbishop J. Peter Sartain will formally dedicate and bless a historical marker remembering the former Our Lady Queen of Martyrs parish and school in Seattle. The parish was set up and administered by the Maryknoll Society at the invitation of Bishop Edward O’Dea in 1920 to serve the Japanese-American immigrant community, and later the Filipino-American immigrant community as well. In 1920, Maryknoll Sisters Gemma Shea and Gerard Gallagher opened a kindergarten for sixteen Japanese children of working immigrant mothers. By 1922, enrollment had grown to eighty-four pupils so the kindergarten was relocated to a larger house at 17th & E Jefferson St. By 1926, twelve Maryknoll Sisters were educating over one-hundred students and had added a children’s home and day care nursery. Fr. Leopold Tibesar, MM, became the parish priest in 1935. Following the December 7, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 in February, 1942 which led to military orders to evacuate all people of Japanese descent from the U.S. West Coast to relocation camps. Fr. Tibesar accompanied the parish evacuees first to the fairgrounds in Puyallup (“Camp Harmony”), a few blocks away from the current location of All Saints church, then to the Minidoka Relocation Center in Idaho, where he was assisted by two Maryknoll Sisters from the parish, Srs. Thomas Marie (Regina) Johnson and Marie Rosaire Greaney. The dedication and blessing is scheduled for Saturday, June 8, at 3:00pm to which the public is invited. The blessing will take place on the corner of 16th and Jefferson Streets just outside the Jefferson Tower entrance of Swedish Hospital. There will be a social afterwards in the foyer of the Jefferson Tower. June 8 marks the 151st Anniversary of the canonization of the Martyrs of Japan (16th and 17th centuries). The event is co-sponsored by your Missions Office and the Maryknoll House in Seattle.
